Today I was plesantly surprised when I opened my in-box. There was an e-mail stating that I have made it to the FRONT PAGE of Top Mama. WooHOO!!! I seriously can’t remember when I put in my badge in. Refering back to the post I made at Astromama it states 22 April 2008.After a brief calculation – It took me 4 months to make it to the front page.
Would like a favour from all my friends and readers to vote for me so that I remain longer on the front page of Top Mama
Thanks in advance,

Ever since I started on decluttering the house I have wanted to spruce up and modernize the study room with a new computer desk. My existing computer desk is not ergonomically designed and under continued long term usage may result in poor hand positioning and related illnesses under constant strain. It also doesn’t have sufficient space for the stacks of papers and books that I need to refer to while doing my research for my upcomming e-book, administrative work for the online travel company that I am assisting and other freelance projects that I have accepted. With everything within reach and at eye range it will definately save me lots of time when I need to get down to work during the precious hours the kids are away at pre-school.
I searched around on the interent and fell in love with the above computer desk on first sight. I love the uber cool glass look and the minimalist design. The expansive table space that it has is a real bonus as I will have enough space for all my stuff.
Doesn’t the above table look very chic? Being made of glass it is easy to clean and blends in easily with the existing furniture in the room without sticking out like a sore thumb. The Chrome bars add to its mordenistic design and adds some colour to the furniture.
While choosing the computer desk I also was looking at a new chair to suit it. I wanted an ergonomic chair and fancied this particular piece. I feel that it goes well with the computer desk that I have selected. What do you think?

I found these pieces of furniture at Office Furniture UK. There are many different choices of home office furniture to suit your personal taste and style. With many various combinations which you can mix and match to fully utilise the home office space that you have. In fact they have 1000 over pieces of furniture for you to choose. With a 5 year guarantee on the products you purchase from them it is an excellent idea to get your purhcases from this company as they are definately of quality.
Another good thing about this company is that they promise speedy delivery with stock on hand and easy credit options. This is definately a plus point when I select which company to purchase such big ticket items like chairs and tables.
This week I am tooting about my 19mth old. I’m amazed by the antics he can come out with just to get around the house rules that I set.
#1- Do not come into the kitchen while I am cooking
What he does ( and I swear he must have learned it from his older brother as Ryan did the same thing before). He doesn’t walk in he backs in… turns around crawls or walks backwards into the kitchen.
#2- Finish your food before you can go and play.
“Mommy come!!” he will yell. As I approach him he will take his spoon and shove the remainder of his bowl of food into my mouth.
” Finish! No more!” he will announce. Roy would be happily showing me the empty bowl while grinning away. [Mission accomplished!!]
#3 No helping yourself to the food in the refrigerator without permission.
” Mommy ,carry please” he will ask politely. When he is carried he would hold my hand on the fridge and make me open it for him. Next he would guide my hand and make me pick out the item that he desire to eat.
Rationale: I can’t touch the chocolate but mummy can. I’m not taking it out of the fridge, mummy is 
#4 Do not bring your toys outside the house.
” Roy leave you teddy bear at home, do not bring it out with you as you may lose it while we are out shopping.” I tell him nicely.
He goes to his room and brings out the biggest teddy bear he can find. ” Mummy carry.. big bear bear” he says as he stuffs the teddy bear into my arms.
Picking up his teddy bear he points at the teddy bear in my arms and says ” Big bear bear… small bear bear..go”
Rationale: I know that i can’t bring the bear out but if mummy is bringing her bear out it should be okay right? I’m just following what she is doing.
*Roll eyes and end up tongue-tied on how to combat his counter measures.
Anyone want to share what their kids do to get around the house rules?
